OB/GYN appointments are more than just routine check-ins — they’re an opportunity for women to take an active role in their health care. Yet so many leave the exam room with unanswered questions simply because they weren’t sure what to ask, or felt uncomfortable speaking up.
Asking the right questions helps you make informed decisions about your health and wellness, understand what’s normal (and what’s not), advocate for yourself, and strengthen your partnership with your healthcare provider.
If you’re not sure where to start, here’s a list of questions that can help you make the most out of your OB/GYN visits — whether you’re there for a wellness check, managing a health concern, or planning for a family:
1. What screenings or tests should I be having at this age?
2. What birth control methods are safest and most effective for my health history?
3. How can I prepare my body now for a healthy pregnancy later?
4. What steps should I take to improve my fertility?
5. How can I better understand and track my menstrual cycle?
6. What could be causing my irregular or heavy periods?
7. Is discomfort or pain during s*x something I should be concerned about?
8. How often should I schedule mammograms, Pap smears, HPV tests, and other routine screenings?
9. Is it normal to have some discharge?
